British No.1 Johanna Konta’s rapid rise up the WTA world rankings has continued with the British No.1 moving up two places to a career high of 21st.

The 24-year-old was the world No.151 twelve months ago but an incredible year, which included reaching the Australian Open semi-finals, has seen her move up 130 places and to within touching distance of the top 20.

Konta became the first British woman to reach the last eight of the Miami Open in her last outing but lost to Victoria Azarenka.

British No.2 Heather Watson, who won her third WTA title at the Monterrey Open in March, climbed 14 places from 69 to 55, with British No.3 Naomi Broady up two places to 78.
